Great video--clear, concise and provides step by step directions. I followed the video instructions and with a $10.00 junk yard part from a 1995 Maxima fixed my 1996 Maxima. Getting the solenoid valve from the 95 was easy--removing the valve from the 96 was not. So, not being able to reach the nut under the valve, even with a 10mm flex wrench, I just left it in place. I disconnected the vacuum hoses from the bad valve and placed them on the new valve, zip tied it in place and reconnected the electrical connection and everything went well. Thanks for the help!
Also, just because you can hear the solenoid click, the Vacuum Valve in the EGR Solenoid may still be malfunctioning. The best way to test it is: Put a vaccum on the EGR Solenoid Vacuum port, and a Vacuum Gauge (with a Tee connector) on the EGR Solenoid port to the EGR. When the solenoid is off, there should be no vacuum on the EGR port. When the Solenoid is on, there should be vacuum on the EGR port with no loss of vacuum. Then the vacuum should release when the Solenoid is turned off. Most EGR Solenoids have a vent hose that let's in air to release the vacuum to the EGR port. The vent hose may have a little air filter on it (some filters are built into the EGR Solenoid) so make sure the vent hose and filter air letting air through with no leaks (you don't want dirty air in your EGR Solenoid Vacuum Valve).
the one glaring question I wish you had addressed was when touching the pins such as the voltage check how did you choose which pin to touch because any person would wonder "what will happen if I touch the wrong one?" does it matter? if so how did you determine "I will touch the outside pin?" that could mean anything
Great video. After you verify power to the connector, check the ground on the connector too. Turn the Ignition OFF. Then put your meter in Ohms mode and measure the other pin to ground (chassis). You should read less than 2 Ohms. Then put your meter back in Volts DC mode.
@@ericoz650 Checking the ground is easy. Put your DMM in Ohms auto range. With the vehicle powered off, measure each lead with the red meter lead, and with the black meter lead on the chassis (ground). One should read less than 2 Ohms (that is your ground and it is good), if your read a few Ohms higher, that is a bad ground. Digital Multi Meters (DMMs) take a few seconds to start reading and to stabilize, so give each measurement about 5 seconds before you make the reading.

Great video. My 98 maxima tested 11.6 volts at the molex connector, not 12v. The solenoid however when tested directly from batt did click. Since I’m not getting a full 12.1v at the connector, any idea if that might have an effect on performance of the solenoid? Unsure where to go next.

It was throwing this same code with an older motor, and still is with replacement motor installed last week. I have 12v at the wire plug when it's unplugged and key on. 12v applied with jumper wires actuates the solenoid on both its leads. But, when I have a helper turn key to on I cannot hear or feel the solenoid activating. Is this solenoid controlled by ECU giving it a ground? Or how?

My 1997 Montero sport was throwing p1400, idling too low and occasionally stall. But would start right up again. I reset the light and it idles perfect.
Hi again today rechecked hoses they are not clogged at all. I have taken those rubber hoses off a few times. Are they supposed to come off easily off of the egr solenoid? the one that points toward the firwall and the two that point up towards hood towards front end also come off without any effort like the others I have taken off. Is that normal? Sorry if im not making sense. I'm not giving up on the car that is the only problem with the car. Runs great! -)
Veronica Morales If you're getting 12 volts at the harness connector and the solenoid valve works you should be in good shape. My best guess is either the harness connector isn't completely plugged into the solenoid valve or the hoses have been mismatched.
I have code p1130 and it's the swirl valve, the car will shuts off when it's hot I ready replace the swirl valve but the problem it's still in the car do you know else where to look for? Thanks for you time
Unfortunately, there's quite a list of things to check. Besides P1130, do you have any other codes? First check the hoses between the intake manifold and the swirl control valve. Look for cracking, clogging, improper connection, etc. When you say you've replaced the valve, are you referring to the solenoid valve or the actuator? The valve also works with other sensors. If these sensors stop working together they could give code p1130. Look under my page and watch the video for throttle position sensor and mass air flow sensor. Perform the same test on your vehicle as I show in the videos and let me know if anything comes up.
Hi, we have a Nissan Altima 2000. We unplugged the engine mount control solenoid valve harness connector and according to multi meter, there is no voltage the getting to the sensor from the harness. We checked all of the fuses on the engine and under the steering column and none of them are blown, where is the fuse located? Thanks so much!
John Biskup Hi John. I believe the first year for hydraulic engine mounts are 2007+ Altima's. Do you mean where the fuse is located regarding the EGRC solenoid valve?
Yes. We never found the fuse for it though. We let the car warm up and were able to get a reading. A friend told me the egr does not kick in until the car is wanted up. Thank you.
Just remove the harness connector, the rubber hoses going to the sensor and there's a bolt on the bottom of the sensor. The bolt size is 10mm if I remember correctly.
hey c&t! great videos man. u could not have explained this process any better, but leave it to me to have a question. i tested the egrc component and i heard a noise but it didnt sound exactly like a click, more like a tiny zap and does it matter which port the 2 small hoses are connected. im still getting code
is this the same as a temperature sensor? I'm getting a error code 32 on my 94 nissan pickup and its for erg function and either said egr valve, temperature sensor, solenoid seemed like the 2two were the same thing
aLECKS SKCELa Do you mean the coolant temp sensor or air intake temp sensor? I have vids for both....ua-cam.com/video/bPAIFL8VH9w/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/N5FGh8T4qmE/v-deo.html
CarsNToys i checked the solenoid how you described in this video and also the erg valve in your other video and they check out good. my check engine light only comes on sometimes. pretty random. any other opinions why why check engine light goes on and off at random? my friend also says it might also be my catalytic converter. can that be true?
Should my 96 I30 look the same? I know it should but I have that same code and i can't seem to find that connector. In my car there is no sensor near the area located in your video.
also in the video at the begining there is a black connector hooked to the side of the valve cover that says v6 3000 twin cam 24 valve. right there on the edge of it on the end of the connector it says Nissan 0.47 what is that connector for, what is its function. when I unplugged mine it's full of red sticky stuff. please help. I have a screen shot but didn't know how to send a picture. thanks for any help.
Your vehicle may be different depending on the specific model. Do you have a California spec model or non-California model? There's a tag on the hood that states if you have a California model. Watch this video and fast forward to 18:40. I show where the tag is located. ua-cam.com/video/NabxJMx1cW8/v-deo.html
Thanks for the excellent video. I need to change the solenoid. What special tool can reach the 10mm nut under the bracket to unbolt the solenoid? 1996 Maxima
CarsNToys OK, Success! I bought a flexible 10mm ratchet wrench for $8 online and successfully changed the solenoid valve today. I'm told the check engine light will eventually go out after driving the car for a number of cycles, whatever that means. Barring someother problem, do you think the CEL will cycle off?
Just remove the vacuum hoses, disconnect the electrical connector and remove from its mount. It's a little tight but you'll be able to remove the sensor.
@@CarsNToys Is there a 10mm nut under the sensor connecting it to the metal bracket? Haven't dug in yet, but there is a bolt coming out of the sensor body underneath in the part replacements I am seeing.
hello, i am working on a 2000 VW Passat with a 2.8. I'm only getting about 8 volts to the wiring lead to secondary air injection solenoid and the intake manifold change over valve. Is this normal ? If not, where should i start looking for problems? Thanks.
I am getting code P1400 I checked the EGR and it's working fine I check the sensor and I hear click I checked the voltage and it 11.5 But I am still getting code p1400 every time I erase the code When I take the two hoses from the sensor I see a lot of very tiny charcoal inside the hoses Any idea why
Moe Zein Okay. So you're getting battery voltage at the harness; that's good. And you checked the EGRC sensor itself and it's working correctly. Is this correct? The EGRC has three hoses coming from it. Is the sensor you're looking at have three hoses?There's a 10 amp fuse for the sensor. It's located at the fuse block and it's number 16. (If you don't know what a fuse block is just google image it.) Check the undercover of the fuse box and it's #16; or just look for Engine Control.
Where is the fuse block located? I have 1996?Nissan Altima, I have the code P1400 , there's battery voltage and sensor is clicking... idk what else to do... so where that fuse located? Inside the care or under the hood...plz help and be specific about the location of the fuse... thanx
I have a 98 max se, I was getting codes 1447 and 1440, I cleaned out the tubes that lead from my purge volume valve to the canister, because It was full of charcoal particles. when I recheck the codes, 1447 and 1440 was gone, but 1148 was there, should have replace the canister and not cleaned it out, or did cleaning it work and the 1148 code is something else
Hello I checked the solenoid valve connector harness and it's only reading 5-7 volts, is that the reason I'm getting the code P1400 and what is the fix to this problem? Could it be Evap control pressure sensor causing this because, my mechanic wants me to buy that part next he says that's why it's reading code P1447. I also get code P0446 but mechanic already replaced Evap canister and Evap canister control valve, I'm still getting that code P0446 though. Got to pass emissions this month or I will be walking. I hate living in Ga
+CarsNToys Codes are still the same as explained in my first post, I wonder could it be my ECM because I didn't get a beep when I checked pressure sensor harness connector, as instructed in your other video

Do you have any experience with this?... The Internet has provided a little insight, but I'm hoping your expertise can guide me a little better... I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima, looks like the Max you work on...
jh hassellhoff Sorry, the Maxima I work on is a '97 model; before they started using swirl valves. Next time I come across a newer Maxima I'll take a video on how to test the valve.
what's the fuse location? I've had this code for a year now and I don't feel like going through all this, oh and how does one get to the bolt at the bottom?
Hi. I really need your help. My car is also coming up with code p1400. We did everything you did on the video. The code p1400, just keeps coming back hours later or the next day. . By the way we do have a code reader , the one who knows how to use it is my husband after I replaced egrc solenoid he cleared the code... Egr solenoid has been replaced there is that click (the one with the green connector) volt test 12. Car is a 1996 nissan maxima gle. Emissions test failed (Illinois) ( code p1400) a month ago and we still can't get that code from popping back up, other 2 codes that had popped up along with p1400 stopped showing up which was knock sensor and the sensor by charcoal filled canister in the rear also changed that charcoal filled canister. Now obviously with the check engine still on emissions will be a fail and therefore we can't drive vehicle around. I'm trying to fix the problem ourselves cuz man around here everyone wants 1200 to fix a maybe simple fix. Can you please help, oh and also we checked every fuse all are fine. I looked at the fuse square by driver side under steering and also under hood left side near where the battery is. As far as those relay boxes well have no idea. Is there another fuse block or square that maybe we are missing.? Anyway hope to read from you soon. Thanks love your videos and the way you explain :))
not all solenoid clicks so you really cant go by that only. Check ohms should be around 35 ohms ish, then give it power like you did but start the car if the idle gets rough then the solenoid is working, also you just verified the egr valve also working good.
Please Help!!.... I am getting code P1400 I replace new I replace new and check the sensor and I hear click I checked the voltage and it 11.5 But I am still getting code p1400 every time I erase the code Any idea why ? Thanks in-advance, Dat
That sensor is hell to remove and those bolts at the bottom are very sensitive and will snap but if you're swapping it doesn't really matter, but can someone please tell me where the fuse is so I can check. p1400 p0325

Question: How many Silenoids are in a typical car? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Answer: None! There are NO Silenoids in a car, but there is at least one Solenoid - the Starter Solenoid for one. [laugh] The EGR Solenoid is another.
You really didn't check the GND connection to the solenoid. You just verified that it was getting 12V.Maybe use the OHMs setting to verify that the solenoid GND pin connection is good.

Where is the 10 amp fuse for egrc on 1997 v6 pathfinder? Thx
This guy is awesome. .....You should Teach
Juan Martinez Thanks, Juan, Glad to help
My 1997 Montero sport was throwing p1400, idling too low and occasionally stall. But would start right up again. I reset the light and it idles perfect.
Hi again today rechecked hoses they are not clogged at all.
I have taken those rubber hoses off a few times. Are they supposed to come off easily off of the egr solenoid? the one that points toward the firwall and the two that point up towards hood towards front end also come off without any effort like the others I have taken off. Is that normal?
Sorry if im not making sense. I'm not giving up on the car that is the only problem with the car. Runs great! -)
Veronica Morales If you're getting 12 volts at the harness connector and the solenoid valve works you should be in good shape. My best guess is either the harness connector isn't completely plugged into the solenoid valve or the hoses have been mismatched.
I have a 95 Nissan Maxima . I can't seem to find a harness connector for my EGR solenoid vacuum . Can you suggest where I may find one at?
I have code p1130 and it's the swirl valve, the car will shuts off when it's hot I ready replace the swirl valve but the problem it's still in the car do you know else where to look for? Thanks for you time
Sure. What kind of vehicle do you have?
Maxima 99, it's been acting up every time I drive it ill shuts off randomly and the code it's for swirl valve thanks
Unfortunately, there's quite a list of things to check. Besides P1130, do you have any other codes?
First check the hoses between the intake manifold and the swirl control valve. Look for cracking, clogging, improper connection, etc.
When you say you've replaced the valve, are you referring to the solenoid valve or the actuator?
The valve also works with other sensors. If these sensors stop working together they could give code p1130. Look under my page and watch the video for throttle position sensor and mass air flow sensor. Perform the same test on your vehicle as I show in the videos and let me know if anything comes up.
Do you have a video showing replacement of an egr solenoid valve on a 97 Maxima?
I don't. It's not a fun job.
Hi, we have a Nissan Altima 2000. We unplugged the engine mount control solenoid valve harness connector and according to multi meter, there is no voltage the getting to the sensor from the harness. We checked all of the fuses on the engine and under the steering column and none of them are blown, where is the fuse located? Thanks so much!
John Biskup Hi John. I believe the first year for hydraulic engine mounts are 2007+ Altima's. Do you mean where the fuse is located regarding the EGRC solenoid valve?
Yes. We never found the fuse for it though. We let the car warm up and were able to get a reading. A friend told me the egr does not kick in until the car is wanted up. Thank you.
It runs through a 10 amp fuse; number 25. I believe it's under the dash for your vehicle.
I have a 1997 nissan maxima and it's throwing that p1400 code the voltage is good I guess the sensor is bad. How do I change it?
Just remove the harness connector, the rubber hoses going to the sensor and there's a bolt on the bottom of the sensor. The bolt size is 10mm if I remember correctly.
Awesome tip man. Could the DTC code also be a result of little or no EGR flow for this particular vehicle?
Thanks, Marvin. Code P0400 is associated with low EGR flow.
hey c&t! great videos man. u could not have explained this process any better, but leave it to me to have a question. i tested the egrc component and i heard a noise but it didnt sound exactly like a click, more like a tiny zap and does it matter which port the 2 small hoses are connected. im still getting code
by the way its code p1400 and code p0325
is this the same as a temperature sensor? I'm getting a error code 32 on my 94 nissan pickup and its for erg function and either said egr valve, temperature sensor, solenoid seemed like the 2two were the same thing
aLECKS SKCELa Do you mean the coolant temp sensor or air intake temp sensor? I have vids for both....ua-cam.com/video/bPAIFL8VH9w/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/N5FGh8T4qmE/v-deo.html
CarsNToys i checked the solenoid how you described in this video and also the erg valve in your other video and they check out good. my check engine light only comes on sometimes. pretty random. any other opinions why why check engine light goes on and off at random? my friend also says it might also be my catalytic converter. can that be true?
You have the four or six cylinder motor?
Should my 96 I30 look the same? I know it should but I have that same code and i can't seem to find that connector. In my car there is no sensor near the area located in your video.
Jonathan Nguyen You sure code you have is p1400? I believe these didn't come into play until '97
CarsNToys Yea my obd reader says P1400 "Manufacture Control"
+CarsNToys So is it my car is throwing a code it shouldn't have? I cleared the code and the P1400 still comes up.
Jonathan Nguyen
I don't have anything on my end for p1400 & '96 I30.
also in the video at the begining there is a black connector hooked to the side of the valve cover that says v6 3000 twin cam 24 valve. right there on the edge of it on the end of the connector it says Nissan 0.47 what is that connector for, what is its function. when I unplugged mine it's full of red sticky stuff. please help. I have a screen shot but didn't know how to send a picture. thanks for any help.
Your vehicle may be different depending on the specific model. Do you have a California spec model or non-California model? There's a tag on the hood that states if you have a California model. Watch this video and fast forward to 18:40. I show where the tag is located. ua-cam.com/video/NabxJMx1cW8/v-deo.html
Thanks for the excellent video. I need to change the solenoid. What special tool can reach the 10mm nut under the bracket to unbolt the solenoid? 1996 Maxima
Henry Edwardo It's a little tricky but try a using different size wrenches.
CarsNToys OK, Success! I bought a flexible 10mm ratchet wrench for $8 online and successfully changed the solenoid valve today. I'm told the check engine light will eventually go out after driving the car for a number of cycles, whatever that means. Barring someother problem, do you think the CEL will cycle off?
Henry Edwardo
Good stuff, Henry. Yes, it will cycle off.
CarsNToys Thanks for all your help. Saved me $300
Have you done a tutorial on how to remove this part if needed?
Just remove the vacuum hoses, disconnect the electrical connector and remove from its mount. It's a little tight but you'll be able to remove the sensor.
@@CarsNToys Is there a 10mm nut under the sensor connecting it to the metal bracket? Haven't dug in yet, but there is a bolt coming out of the sensor body underneath in the part replacements I am seeing.
what fuse in the fuse bix do i need to replace to see if egrc is working code came on p01400
+antonio anderson What kind of vehicle?

Good Morning, Where can I locate my fuse on a 1996 nissan maxima for the EGRC Solenoid? Thank you!
Leonard Sicilian Same location as shown in this video.
Leonard Sicilian I apologize. I read your question too quickly. It runs through a 10a fuse located in the junction box.
hello, i am working on a 2000 VW Passat with a 2.8. I'm only getting about 8 volts to the wiring lead to secondary air injection solenoid and the intake manifold change over valve. Is this normal ? If not, where should i start looking for problems? Thanks.
pat down I'm sorry, Pat. I have very little experience working on German cars so I can't tell you for sure if that's your problem.
On the Nissan Pathfinder where can I find the fuse for the EGR sensor?
Moe Zein What year?
CarsNToys Do you mean the EGR temperature sensor? Are you getting code P1401?
I am getting code P1400
I checked the EGR and it's working fine
I check the sensor and I hear click I checked the voltage and it 11.5
But I am still getting code p1400 every time I erase the code
When I take the two hoses from the sensor I see a lot of very tiny charcoal inside the hoses
Any idea why
Moe Zein Okay. So you're getting battery voltage at the harness; that's good. And you checked the EGRC sensor itself and it's working correctly. Is this correct? The EGRC has three hoses coming from it. Is the sensor you're looking at have three hoses?There's a 10 amp fuse for the sensor. It's located at the fuse block and it's number 16. (If you don't know what a fuse block is just google image it.) Check the undercover of the fuse box and it's #16; or just look for Engine Control.
Yes you'll be fine.
Where is the fuse block located? I have 1996?Nissan Altima, I have the code P1400 , there's battery voltage and sensor is clicking... idk what else to do... so where that fuse located? Inside the care or under the hood...plz help and be specific about the location of the fuse... thanx
Moe Zein +CarsNToys where is the fuse located??? Please help I have 1996 Nissan Altima
+CarsNToys can you tell me where the fuse is for 97 Nissan Maxima
selamu ade I know it's a 10 amp fuse. For the exact location I'll have to dig that up. Shoot me an email if you can't find it.
What 10 amp fuse powers it?
i get no reading on the harness connector, but the fuses all have continuity
I have a 98 max se, I was getting codes 1447 and 1440, I cleaned out the tubes that lead from my purge volume valve to the canister, because It was full of charcoal particles. when I recheck the codes, 1447 and 1440 was gone, but 1148 was there, should have replace the canister and not cleaned it out, or did cleaning it work and the 1148 code is something else
i have 1998 nissa altima, i have the p1400 manufacturer specific code. Can you please send me a link to buy the EGRC solenoid valve. thank you.
Try Amazon, ebay motors and rock auto
I have a 2021 Toyota highlander and my gas tank continuously sucks and air into the gas tank and I can’t find out why
HOW U DOIN MY IS QUINTIN JONES AND I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTION ABOUT MY NISSAN
Hello I checked the solenoid valve connector harness and it's only reading 5-7 volts, is that the reason I'm getting the code P1400 and what is the fix to this problem? Could it be Evap control pressure sensor causing this because, my mechanic wants me to buy that part next he says that's why it's reading code P1447. I also get code P0446 but mechanic already replaced Evap canister and Evap canister control valve, I'm still getting that code P0446 though. Got to pass emissions this month or I will be walking. I hate living in Ga
+Bigman What kind of vehicle?
+CarsNToys 96 Nissan Maxima GLE
+CarsNToys I also checked the Pressure sensor connector harness and I didn't get the beep but I did get a reading
Okay. What codes are you getting right now?
+CarsNToys Codes are still the same as explained in my first post, I wonder could it be my ECM because I didn't get a beep when I checked pressure sensor harness connector, as instructed in your other video
IM TRYIN TOCHECKTHE FUSE B4 I TRY TO CHANGE MY SENSOR DO U MIND GUIDING ME?
quintin jones Sure man. What kind of nissan?
CarsNToys ARE THEY LOCATED\INSIDE OR UNDER THE HOOD
For what vehicle?
Hello... I recently reached out to you with help replacing my O2 sensor (p0138)... Your video was extremely helpful and easy to follow...
Now I got p1130 swirl control... Do you have any experience with this?... The Internet has provided a little insight, but I'm hoping your expertise can guide me a little better... I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima, looks like the Max you work on...
jh hassellhoff Sorry, the Maxima I work on is a '97 model; before they started using swirl valves. Next time I come across a newer Maxima I'll take a video on how to test the valve.
what's the fuse location? I've had this code for a year now and I don't feel like going through all this, oh and how does one get to the bolt at the bottom?
great question. I'm trying to get the same answer as well.
Awsome 👍
Hi. I really need your help. My car is also coming up with code p1400. We did everything you did on the video. The code p1400, just keeps coming back hours later or the next day. . By the way we do have a code reader , the one who knows how to use it is my husband after I replaced egrc solenoid he cleared the code... Egr solenoid has been replaced there is that click (the one with the green connector) volt test 12.
Car is a 1996 nissan maxima gle. Emissions test failed (Illinois) ( code p1400) a month ago and we still can't get that code from popping back up, other 2 codes that had popped up along with p1400 stopped showing up which was knock sensor and the sensor by charcoal filled canister in the rear also changed that charcoal filled canister. Now obviously with the check engine still on emissions will be a fail and therefore we can't drive vehicle around. I'm trying to fix the problem ourselves cuz man around here everyone wants 1200 to fix a maybe simple fix.
Can you please help, oh and also we checked every fuse all are fine. I looked at the fuse square by driver side under steering and also under hood left side near where the battery is. As far as those relay boxes well have no idea. Is there another fuse block or square that maybe we are missing.? Anyway hope to read from you soon. Thanks love your videos and the way you explain :))
Veronica Morales How are the hoses leading from the egrc valve? Are they clogged?
CarsNToys opps replied up there^
98 i30 where's the fuse ,what's it labeled as???
Where is the fuse located?
not all solenoid clicks so you really cant go by that only. Check ohms should be around 35 ohms ish, then give it power like you did but start the car if the idle gets rough then the solenoid is working, also you just verified the egr valve also working good.
The same exact car 97 maxima gle, knock sensor egr vacuum solenoid code
Please Help!!....
I am getting code P1400
I replace new
I replace new and check the sensor and I hear click I checked the voltage and it 11.5
But I am still getting code p1400 every time I erase the code
Any idea why ?
Thanks in-advance,
Dat
Dat Bui Maxima? What year?
Great video sir!
Thank you. Hope it was helpful.
I got a new solenoid for the 2.5. It doesn't hold a vacuum.
That sensor is hell to remove and those bolts at the bottom are very sensitive and will snap but if you're swapping it doesn't really matter, but can someone please tell me where the fuse is so I can check. p1400 p0325
+Marktheshark804 What kind of vehicle?
+CarsNToys what fuse can i check for the p01400 code .. where is it located.. i have an 96 infiniti i30
Nice video on how to test the EGR solenoid but no instruction on how to replace the solenoid..... Needs to change the title of the video on "how to test the EGR solenoid"

Question: How many Silenoids are in a typical car?

Answer: None! There are NO Silenoids in a car, but there is at least one Solenoid - the Starter Solenoid for one. [laugh] The EGR Solenoid is another.
You really didn't check the GND connection to the solenoid. You just verified that it was getting 12V.Maybe use the OHMs setting to verify that the solenoid GND pin connection is good.
Please remove your watch when in the engine compartment, I would not like to see you electrocuted. I have seen the outcome. Be careful, No jewelry when working on automobiles!!!
Who cares, please wear all your expensive jewelry when working in that engine, smfh...such a geezer.
And I can't go No More Than 80 on the Highway. It makes it hard to pass another car.When it reaches 80, i can't accelerate anymore.
